I have also located the problem (well, sort of). I built a GENERIC kernel, and then made incremental changes until I had my old working kernel back. The problem appears to be in the code for one of the following options: CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION CLK_USE_TSC_CALIBRATION I don't need these anymore (my machine figures out the clock speed when it boots without them), so I didn't try to isolate which was at fault. If people would like, I can turn these on one at a time and see which is causing it. If I remember correctly from when I last looked at the code, CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP turns on the feature and the other 2 select variations on how it is handled. brian +-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ He rides a cycle of mighty days, and \ Wm Brian and Lori McCane represents the last great schizm among\ McCane Consulting the gods.
